Liz Kiel co-PI on 5-year NIH grant to study parent-child anxiety

Late last year, Liz Kiel received word that her NIH grant, “Biological Systems As Mediators Of Transactional Influences On Anxiety Risk In The Mother-Child Dyad During Infancy,” submitted with a colleague from Texas A&M, was funded. The project will study how maternal and childhood anxiety influence each other across time, using a variety of psychological and physiological markers. The entire grant provides $2.8M in funding, with more than $1M allocated to Miami, through 2025. In addition to Liz serving as the project’s Co-PI, Robin Thomas and Elise Clerkin will serve as consultants on the project, and the award will support graduate lines in the department as well. Congratulations to Liz and her team!

Congrats to Anna Radke on receiving an NIAAA R15 grant

A big congratulations goes out to Dr. Anna Radke, who was awarded a R15 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism grant to support her research project entitled, “Analysis Of Subcortical Networks That Promote Aversion-Resistant Alcohol Drinking.”

Dr. Radke’s RAD Lab uses animal models to study motivational brain circuits to understand how these neural circuits function in a healthy state as well as to uncover adaptations that contribute to maladaptive behaviors such as addiction. To address these questions, they study reward-seeking and compulsive behaviors in mice.

The grant will support her research for three years (September 2020 – August 2023) and is a $378K award.

Congrats to Anna and everyone in the RAD Lab!!!
